SINGAPORE: An SBS Transit bus caught fire along the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) on Friday (Feb 13 2026) morning.
In response to a query from CNA, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that it was alerted to a fire involving a bus along the PIE in the direction of Tuas before the Clementi Road exit at around 11.45am and that it extinguished the fire using two water jets.
The authority said that congestion had built up to Adam Road and advised motorists to avoid the second to fourth lanes of the expressway in the area.
In footage of the incident sent to CNA by a reader, the bus is seen engulfed in flames on the shoulder of the expressway. A photo taken by another CNA reader subsequently shows the burnt-out wreckage of the bus.
SBS Transit spokesperson Grace Wu told CNA that the bus involved in the fire was an off-service bus.
“There were no passengers on board and the bus captain was unhurt in the incident,” she said, adding that SBS Transit is also investigating the cause of the fire.
